Regarding CSX 30XX cars from AC run by Brian Angliss:
My records do not show any Angliss 30601 nor any 3060, as of just before he "sold" AC (actually, the gangsters from the accountancy employed as agency for the bancrupcy pushed him out the door, quite ungraciously and foolishly).
There remains the potential for various "creative" entries during the period of A C Cars Group Limited operations under the notorious Lubinski Buttinski. Documents do exist, such as letters of "assurance", though i have not seen them personally; which i understand are signed by L. Recall that it would be illegal in GB for ACCG to issue any document on ACC stationary or legal documents. ACCG only purchased the assets, not either the going concern or the liabilities of ACC. But, i might expect to see an ACC (Malta) document, dated after the close of ACC (GB) and perhaps even after the close of ACCG (GB).
There were only the 3 continuation cars 3056, 3057 and 3058, spread over from 1992 to 1995. There was another, 3070 which was reportedly shoved under an original data plate, but there is extant a 3070 that has been continuously owned since the early 90's, so perhaps i was mis-informed about that number.
3056 is in England, owned by a fellow who also now owns the last 289 AC COBRA, 3057 is in Germany owned by a charming racer's wife and 3058 is in Detroit getting its first engine & tranny (top-loader) installation with the great Dave Wagner in Northville, IL. Genuine NOS. Never run. Strictly a race car, see my pics (no engine in photos). We never wanted 3058 finished as a street SC, but only as a racer.
Interestingly, during the MKIV days, it appears that some serialized MKIV's were in reality MKIII racers and streeters. That is, they were built to specs at variance with the British regulations and shipped out of country (though a few may have slipped back in, i suppose, heh, heh.) i cannot track or identify them. Brian was always really good about building what you wanted. But, he wouldn't build something too stupid and probably ignored some dumb offers.
Attached is pic from last fall at Dave's. Note no pipe holes in lower fender. Note aly 1/2 tonneau.
